Alpha blending (transparency) is only available in images which have an
alpha channel (usually in addition to the standard RGB channels). No
character set I've ever heard of has an alpha channel, purely because
the character set has no influence on how text in rendered; it only
tells you _what_ text to render, not _how_.

Perhaps this is an IRC question? Simply setting the font colour to match the background colour will give a transparent effect.

from the mIRC help:
"Use the ctrl-K key combination to insert special control characters in your text. Add a number from 0 to 15 to use one of the 16
available colors."

True, but there's no way of knowing what background color someone has
set, so it's impossible to make something transparent for all users...

but you can set the background of the text as well by simply
seperating 2 values by a comma like this:

Aplha blending is NOT the only transparancy.Infact alphablending is for
tranlucency.

Ya,and while the bob is doodling around you could subtly change 
the color of the text really slow.

BobS; note the plural. Probably two shade bobs, blending together, so I'd need
three subtly changing colours, where the third is a blend between the other two.
Might work, although changing the preset palette is kind of screwy in text mode
for some reason. Plotting the bobs is no problem though; text mode graphics
memory starts at B800:0000, start plottin'! (And yes, I have that kind of stuff
memorised.)

I was just thinking that this kind of blending would make a good JavE feature.
I hope some good shading tools emerge in the next JavE version.
I can think of blending , darken , lighten , subtracting.
And I still think it would be great if one could draw lines with whitespace ..
like :

88888888P d8888
8888888P d88888
8888::' .::8888

8888' .::::8888
888P .:::::8888
88P d8888888888

Use Control-K and letter P to turn color off making a tranaparent effect.
Use Control-K number to turn it back on. This applies to IRC.

Ooops that was supposed to be Control-O; the letter O not zero

Control-K1,15=======>Control-O   Control-K1,15<=========

The space after Control-O will be empty untill you turn it back on with
Control-K1,15.

Transparent and translucent are synonyms. The only way to avoid using an
alpha channel (that I know of) is to make with that low level code and
draw say, only every second pixel of the relevant object. Blending is
not available at all to individual members of the ASCII character set.
(Read the standard.) Some implementation may add effects to text, but
that is not specified by the ASCII character set itself.

Your drawing does indeed lend the illusion of transparency, but note
that the OP wanted transparency on a per-character basis, not on any
larger scale.

Not entirely. Translucent means semitransparent. An alpha channel can provide
transparency or translucency, but there are other techniques which don't use
an alpha channel (such as a colour key) which only provide transparency.

I'm not sure how any of this can be applied to ascii-art, though...

Actually colour isn't part of the IRC protocol. Which client supports

the CTRL P thing is mIRC color "off" however the CTRL+K does the same thing 
if no other number is after it. Alternately the CTRL+K followed by two numbers
the same (demarked with a comma) such as CTRL+K 0,0 would mark subsequent 
characters as white on a white field for example, thus the appearance of being
transparent.

Heh, I looked at that picture and read "Myxbl". My mind plays tricks on me.

Rubbish .. it's easy when you post the vowels above it .. and even without it's
still fairly easy.

It tells us :
"This sentence contains no vowoals and the procoding sentence no consonants."
It also tells us you can't spell ;)

No, it says "consnents". If you're gonna misread it, misread it right. :)

I just discovered that "preceding" and "following" have the same number of
letters.

Unless they're using a different background colour like me. My new
monitor doesn't go dark enough so I use a grey background.

I have my background in mIRC set to black. The ^0,0 was an example of
making text "transparent" by coding the text the same as the background
in a picture.

P was a typo. Was supposed to be Control-O. It's in mIRC.

But if you use Control-k 0,0 and someone uses a dark background for viewing,
they see blobs of white. Which really sucks. Thats why i use Control-O to
shut color off.
